Many thanks for this. To answer your question, I don't know. What does it do?

Sound as harsh as you want. This is nothing like I want to say when some dipstick comes on here and claims to be unable to understand why the robot is "outside trading hours". You really don't want to be privy to my thoughts when this happens.

Doesn't stop me wanting to solve the technical challenge of automating this, though. Tis only a technical challenge, mind. If people are too thick to work out how to make the robot trade at the correct times, they definitely should not be let out of the house alone, never mind be given funds...
I would be surprised if they had any kind of day job.

Anyone got a copy of the Forex for Dummies book ?

I am not sure what fibs means or does.

Ok, fun though this is let's stop slagging off our fellow dipstickkind. Put me in front of a car engine and all I can say is, "Eh? What?"

Take me away from what I understand, and I too am a total plonker, is what I am trying to say here.

And, yes, I know what you are thinking even as you read this. Stop it now, ok?

Unless you don't want to, of course, in which case you can do what you want. It is a free forum here.

Without sounding too harsh. Cant people figure out what timezone they are in and therefore know what the difference +/- is with Tokyo ???????

I do get a bit worried that some seem to want everything handed to them on a plate while they sit back and do fcuk all.
True, it's just that coders, when questioned on "How do I do this..." What do I put for settings...." We try to incorporate into our EA's dummy proof code to try and eliminate all the stupid questions but to make life easier for Steve should probably just take your approach and just tell those people if you can't setup the EA according to your own Broker and TZ then maybe you shouldn't use this EA

I dont know how you will code/incorporate this but here is the public holidays for Japan 2009, 2010, 2011.

http://www.accessjapan.co.uk/newlook.../holidays.html

I dont think you can extract it from FF has they said there was a JPY public holiday on 2/11/2009 which was wrong by 1 day.

PS. We dont need past 2011, as you should all be rich by then, even compounding nano lots.

Please read the thread with care, scooby-doo. You will find the answer to this question within it. Until you do, I suggest you refrain from trading this robot.

I am just adding the news filter code.

I have been thinking about the bank hols thingy, and suggest either:

 

  1. Leaving it up to users to find out for themselves when Tokyo has a day off.
  2. Having a few don't-trade-on-this-date inputs.

My inclination is to go for (1) - fewer inputs to drive people nuts. What do you think?

What about the following:

extern datetime Next.Public.Holiday = D'23.11.2009'

This will focus their minds, if Next.Public.Holiday < Today then the robot stops and tells them to enter it. ?

Sounds like a plan to me.
